The award-winning magazine Spacing is expanding its online coverage say bonjour to the new daily blog Spacing Montreal!

“Spacing is extremely excited to be launching our Spacing Montreal blog,” says publisher Matthew Blackett. “We’ve had great success in Toronto with both our printed magazine and our daily blog. We feel that adding a blog based out of Montreal that focuses on a variety of public realm issues is a natural extension of our editorial mandate. We want to help residents understand the importance of local public spaces as well as increase the awareness of how each citizen can shape our urban landscape.”

Spacing has assembled 12 fantastic Montreal contributors (including urban affairs writer Christopher DeWolf and the Montreal’s most popular photoblogger Daniel Seguin) to explore the streets of the city and examine neighbourhoods, architecture, traffic, transit, cycling, environmental issues and just about anything that involves the public realm of Montreal.
